    About this ebook

    The medically proven diet that restores your body's essential nutritional balance

    "Good fats"--essential fatty acids--influence every aspect of our being, from the beating of our hearts to our ability to learn to remember. There are two types of essential fatty acids (EFAs), omega-6 and omega-3. The problem with our modern diet is that it contains far more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s. This hidden imbalance makes us more vulnerable to heart disease, cancer, obesity, autoimmmune diseases, allergies, diabetes, and depression.

    The Omega Diet is a natural, time-tested diet that balances the essential fatty acids in your diet. It is packed with delicious food that contain the "good" fats, including real salad dressing, cheese, eggs, fish--even the occasional chocolate dessert--and an abundance of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

    The Omega Diet provides:

    • seven simple dietary guidelines for optimal physical and mental health
    • a concise guide to the foods you need to restore your body's nutritional balance
    • a diet plan that lets you eat fat as you lose fat
    • fifty delicious recipes that are quick and easy to prepare
    • a comprehensive three-week menu to help you get started

      I think the basis of this book is good, since a Mediterranean style diet is indeed very healthy, but it honestly reads like it was funded by the companies that make canola oil! No traditional diet would ever make use of such an oil and the fact that the author goes into depth about how terrible other seed oils are for humans, while somehow giving canola oil a pass purely because it has some omega 3's in it comes off like pure propaganda. Canola oil is still a highly unstable oil completely unsuitable for human consumption, as are the "low-fat" (read: chemically processed and full of sugar) products that the author recommends. The fact that the author has added in such harmful products to the genuinely healthy diet of her childhood just goes to show how blind some people can be.
